Career

[edit]

After playing junior football for Luncarty, Harris began his senior career with Forfar Athletic.[2] His performances attracted attention from several Football League sides and, in March 1965, Cardiff City manager Jimmy Scoular paid £2,000 to sign him. He played five league matches but was released by the club at the end of the season, giving up professional football to become a trainee architect.[3]
